Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Clifton Village questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clifton Village. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
